Standardization is the process of determining the exact concentration (molarity) of a solution. Titration is one type of analytical procedure often used in standardization. In a titration, an exact volume of one substance is reacted with a known amount of another substance.The point at which the reaction is complete in a titration is referred to as the endpoint. A chemical substance known as an indicator is used to indicate (signal) the endpoint.The indicator used in this experiment is phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein, an organic compound, is colorless in acidic solution and pink in basic solution. This experiment involves two separate acid-base standardization procedures.In the first standardization the molarity of a sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) will be determined by titrating a sample of potassium acid phthalate (KHP; HKC8H4O4) with the NaOH.his experiment involves two separate acid-base standardization procedures.

Standardization of a test. A psychological test is a standardized measure. Standardization implies uniformity of procedures in administrating and scoring the test. If the scores obtained by different persons are to be comparable, testing conditions must obviously be the same for all. The formulation of directions is a major part of the standardization of a new test.
